Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
- Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is the probing of energy storage and dissipation properties over a range of frequencies, by means of impedance.
Impedance is the opposition to the flow of alternating current (AC) in a complex system. A passive complex electrical system comprises both energy dissipater (resistor) and energy storage (capacitor) elements. If the system is purely resistive, then the opposition to AC or direct current (DC) is simply resistance.
Almost any physico-chemical system, such as electrochemical cells, mass-beam oscillators, and even biological tissue possesses energy storage and dissipation properties. EIS examines them.
This technique has grown tremendously in stature over the past few years and is now being widely employed in a wide variety of scientific fields such as fuel cell testing, biomolecular interaction, and microstructural characterization.
Text books on this subject is only beginning to emerge on a larger scale, perhaps the most popular text book on EIS is [Barsoukov, E., Macdonald, J. R.Impedance spectroscopy: theory, experiment, and applications, Wiley-Interscience, 2005]
